HOLO Books

Welcome

Welcome to the HOLO Books website. HOLO Books was set up on 5th November 1999 by the wife and husband team Susanna Hoe and Derek Roebuck - established writers in their fields.

Mediation and Arbitration in the Middle Ages: England 1154-1558 (Derek Roebuck, 22 January 2013)  At Home in Paradise: A House and Garden in Papua New Guinea (Susanna Hoe, 2003, Kindle 2012 ISBN 9780954405656) celebrates the 30th of our arrival in Papua New Guinea in June 1982. The Kindle edition of a sequel, More at Home in Paradise: Domestic Dramas in Papua New Guinea, is in preparation.  In 2010 we celebrated our 10th anniversary of publication with Disputes and Differences: Comparisons in Law Language and History (Derek Roebuck, January); and Tasmania: Women, History, Books and Places (Susanna Hoe, September) HOLO Books is likely to remain very small to take account of the partners' writing commitments. The Women's History Press is inspired by Virginia Woolf's haunting image of 'those unlit corridors of history where the figures of generations of women are so dimly, so fitfully lit.' The Arbitration Press' primary concern is to provide historical and comparative insights into how disputes are resolved.
